My pick for best hat this year

Lisa & Sarah in the best attire

Well it was that time of year again. When people from all over the world get together in lower Delaware too see who can throw a pumpkin the longest distance. This year we have a new world record, 4,483.51 ft. For those of you who who are not mathematically incline 1 mile is 5280 feet. So these pumpkins are flying close to a mile. The world record holder this year is Young Glory a fellow Delawarean. So the bragging rights have come home to Delaware. Anyone interested in learning of this tradition you can go to http://www.punkinchunkin.com/ Also what is amazing is these people don't do this not for money most of the money collected goes to charity they do it for bragging rights. This year we only saw one misfire. That's when the pumpkin goes backwards into the crowd. If this happens everyone yells heads up and you better take cover. It hit a car and put one heck of a dent in it. And let me mention what a beautiful weekend it was in lower Delaware for this event. The temperature was in the high 60's. So enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the event.
